HERBACEOUS PERENNIALS. 



This class of plants continue to attract special attention, on account of their 

 hardiness and ease of cultivation. The former situation of the perennial bed having 

 been found undesirable, a new location has been selected, to which the old plants have 

 been removcrl, and in which new varieties are being planted as fast as procured. The 

 following varieties were received during the spring of 1900, and the appended notes 

 show their condition after having passed through one winter. Most of them flowered 

 nicely in their season : —
